Min Yu had just scooped a bowl of porridge. He raised his brow when he saw the young woman's reluctance. "Why don't I feed you?"
Huo Yao immediately reached out to take the bowl from him. She picked up the spoon and buried her head in the food.
Min Yu shook his head gently and sat down next to her.
When they were almost done, Min Yu said, "Oh yes. Your grandmother called me yesterday."
Huo Yao's hands froze. She swallowed the last mouthful of porridge and raised her head to look at Min Yu. "What did you say?"
"I told her to call her when you're free since you're busy with the school's research project." Min Yu handed her a piece of paper.
Huo Yao took it, wiped her mouth, and nodded. "Okay. I'll call her now."
"Okay." Min Yu got up and picked up her phone from the bedside table.
Huo Yao thanked him and lowered her head to look for the number.
Min Yu glanced at her before he began to clear the table unhurriedly.
He lowered his eyes and recalled what the old lady had said on the phone last night.
People who wake up might be different.
Apart from the young woman's unreadable expression when she woke up, he did not notice anything different.
Huo Yao dialed the number quickly.
As usual, Huo Yao did not mention anything else, and neither did the old lady.
The two of them chatted casually about their daily lives.
Huo Yao had not video-chatted with the old lady for a while. She said, "Hold on. Let me switch to video call mode."
The old lady's face instantly changed when she heard this. She hurriedly said, "Next time. I'm outside right now, so it's not convenient."
Outside? Not convenient?
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. Why was it so quiet when she was outside?
"Where are you?" asked Huo Yao.
"I'm at the grocery store near the intersection, so it's not convenient." The old lady sounded rather normal.
Huo Yao rubbed her phone gently and said, "Okay. I'll video call you next time."
The old lady heaved a sigh of relief. "Okay."
Just as she was about to hang up, Huo Yao spoke again. "Oh yes, Grandma. I plan to bring you here for Chinese New Year."
When the old lady heard this, her throat suddenly felt sore. She rubbed her misty eyes and said, "Okay."
"Okay. It's settled then. I'll book a ticket to the city to pick you up during the school holidays," said Huo Yao.
The old lady raised her head. Even though she knew that Ah Yao could not see her, she smiled and replied. "Okay. I'll listen to you."
Before long, Huo Yao hung up the phone and leaned against the chair with a slight frown on her face.
There was something wrong with the old lady.
Let's not talk about why she didn't turn on the video call. Just the last two sentences were too quick.
If it was in the past, he probably wouldn't be able to persuade her no matter how hard he tried.
"What are you thinking about?" Min Yu couldn't help asking when he saw that she was deep in thought after the call.
Huo Yao twirled the phone between her fingers. She tilted her head sideways and looked at Min Yu. "Did you notice anything strange when you received the old lady's call yesterday?"
"Strange?" Min Yu pondered for a moment. Apart from reminding her to take care of Huo Yao, the old lady did not sound strange. He shook his head. "No. What's wrong? What did she say to you? "
"Not much. My instincts just told me something was off," said Huo Yao after pondering.
